Several other meat and dairy companies have also been criticised for taking the subsidy, while still operating in lockdown.
The Fonterra boss claimed his company had not claimed the subsidy at all and Hurrell said he was unsure if Mataura was ‘justified’ in claiming it.

What’s that they say about those without sin casting stones?
